What's your best invention?

[Doc Lynam]

To start off i remember dreaming about a blow up slide as kid, and was convinced i was on my way to being a millionaire!
Just imagine a slide you could put in your backpack! Sadly there wasn't a dragon's den for kids as i would have been on my way.

(Schematics encouraged)

They've had blow-up slides on planes for 50 years at least. As Duncan would say "I'm out"

not an invention per se but I believe I may have been the first person to use a Corby trouser press to heat a pouch of kippers

I don't think the Dragons like comebacks like that

Canned lettuce.

The ultimate in inconvenience foods. Instead of just picking a plant out of the garden and eating it raw, canned lettuce requires a complex harvesting process, journeys half way across the country to a suitable canning factory, distribution to consumers, a search in supermarkets among a whole range of other tinned produce, a journey home, storage, finding a can opener, a hazardous opening of the can, draining the contents, letting the lettuce stand to dry for two hours, and ... serve.

When I was 15 or so I noticed I ALWAYS (nearly) burnt my hand when pouring boiling water from a kettle as the steam would rise back up from the cups and burn the hand holding the kettle.

Therefore, I designed a kettle with a hand protecting shield on the upper part of the handle.

It was as shit as it sounds.

Edible paper and ink so you can print off your own pizza

 

[Nibble]

Fishfingers with ketchup inside them. It never went to production as people don't tend to take 5 year old's seriously. They don't take shite inventions seriously either.

 

[albion534]

A girlfriend who eats out of my hand. Like a little goat.

I'm not sure why, but that really tickled me.

Metal detecting shoes.

Didn't somebody produce those for a while a few years ago?

But if you lost your phone you wouldn't have anything to plug into said charger, and what guarentees the charger will fit the replacement phone?

Dunno. I can't imagine they would be very nice. Hot ketchup? doesn't sound very nice.
